Question

How do I get my 7 month old to drink breast milk from a sippy or bottle at the sitters?

I have a 7 month old who has been refusing a bottle with breast milk in it while at the sitters house. She will nurse when I am home and through the night, but refuses at the sitters house. She will even go hungry to avoid the bottle. I have tried sippy cups, but she just sits and cries. She is absoultely starved by the time I get home from my 12 hour shift that she is pulling at my clothes the minute I pick her up. Any suggestions? Krista, registered nurse and mom of 2 girls
